AMARILLO — Dalhart police arrested a man on felony marijuana possession charges after finding more than 30 pounds of marijuana in a rental vehicle, Sgt. David R. Conner said Monday.

A Dalhart police officer pulled over a white rental vehicle with California license plates about 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the 900 block of U.S. Highway 87, Conner said.

The driver, Soubinh Vongsavanthon, 34, gave the officer consent to search the vehicle, and the officer found about 31 pounds of marijuana hidden in the trunk of the vehicle, Conner said. The marijuana was valued at about $5,000, Conner said.

The officer learned that Vongsavanthon was headed to Wichita, Kan., from San Diego, Conner said.

Police arrested and charged Vongsavanthon with possession of marijuana more than 5 pounds but less than 50 pounds with intent to deliver, Conner said.
